Everything they gave him was contractually obligated - and they STILL tried to coerce an agreement out of the Paternos to say they would never sue them. When that didn't work, they said we'll name the stadium after Joe, if you don't agree to sue us. Sue told them to goto hell.
This is pure cowardice from the BOT. They realize they made a huge mistake in scapegoating an innocent man and a living legend, someone who means more to Penn State then these idiots ever realized. Rather than own up and admit they made a mistake, they're desperately trying to cover their mistakes. It's incredible really. I never thought my University was this retarded.

They tried to fire him years ago. Its not like they can say wrongful termination.
Actually, I think they could. From what we know, Paterno followed both university policy and PA law with how he handled the information he was given about Sandusky. The only other way they could fire him would be for performance reasons, but at the time, the team was 8-1 and in the driver's seat for a bid to the Big Ten championship.
